Product: HP ZBook Power 15.6 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC (33D87AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I tried to turn my notebook on last week for the first time in a couple of months.  It had been sitting with the power lead connected, but would not start up when prompted.  The power LED was constantly blinking orange, steady once per second.  I assumed the charger was faulty and battery flat, so replaced charger but had the same issue.  Replaced the battery now and the issue remains. 

 

I have disconnected the BIOS battery, had the main battery off and power button pressed to discharge and still no improvement.  Absolutely no signs of life, except for this orange blinking LED.

 

Other than VPN connection issues when connected over WiFi, it was working fine last time I used it.  Any suggestions on what to try next?  I'm thinking it'll need to go into a service centre, but wondering if there are any known issues I have overlooked?
